Abstract

Differences in spectral albedo of the asteroid 4 Vesta were already observed by the Hubble multispectral images [1,2,3]. However, unusual regions of very low albedo on Vesta’s surface were first discovered by the Dawn Mission [4]. These “Dark Material Deposits” (DMD) are non-randomly distributed onto the surface and often are associated with geological/morphological features [5,6].
